Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 19 - DAILY PRAYER (YOUR WORD) - JUNE 12, 2013

June 12

O gracious Father in Heaven,

We thank You today for the provision of Your word, which carries us through this earthly life.  For allowing us to know You and Your Son in greater detail. Lord, please continue to make us hungry for Your word, and bold enough to seek You in the scriptures on a daily basis.  Illuminate our path daily with Your lamp upon our feet, that the enemy would not succeed in having us leave the straight path set before us.  Father, please instill in us the necessary instruction to allow us to lead others to You.  Help us to hide Your word in our hearts, and live it out in our lives daily.

In Jesus' mighty name we pray, Amen!
